Gene transfer medicinal products
Vector-related issues clearly to be distinguished from effects mediated by
expression of the gene = added complexity

Clinical challenges with gene transfer
• „How to target only the target“
Example:
Gene therapy medicinal products which substitute for an
organ or tissue-specific gene defect, but with multilocular
occurrence (skin, muscle, bone,…)
• How to administer locally to ensure desired local distribution?
• Impact on patient when administered multilocally
(more than 20 injections per patient etc.)
• How to control the clinical trial?
• How to blind the trial?
• How to measure clinical outcome?

ClassificationArticle 17:
“Any applicant developing a product based on genes, cells or
tissues may request a scientific recommendation of the Agency with a
view to determining whether the referred product falls, on scientific
grounds, within the definition of an advanced therapy medicinal
product.(…)”

Certification: What is it?
Art. 18: ” Small and medium-sized enterprises developing an
advanced therapy medicinal product may submit to the Agency
all relevant quality and, where available, non-clinical data
required in accordance with modules 3 and 4 of Annex I to
Directive 2001/83/EC, for scientific evaluation and
certification.”
Early stage development vs. Annex I: Is the Annex I written
from a Marketing Authorisation perspective?
EMA procedureal guidance EMA/CAT/418458/2008/corr.:
Not binding for future MA; not a Scientific Advice; not binding
for National Agencies for Clinical Trial Authorisations.

Art. 28: the so-called “hospital exemption”
• Additional exclusion under very specific conditions e.g.:
– Non-routine basis of production [what is this?]
– Specific quality standards
– Used in same MS in hospital (manufacturing authorized by Comp. Authority of MS)
– Custom-made product for individual patient
– Under the exclusive professional responsibility of a practitioner
– National rules on the use of cells on ethical grounds
• An alternative Marketing Authorisation procedure?
• Creation of a second market?

Art. 28: the so-called “hospital exemption”
© Christian K Schneider
”Obviously differences in development track will yield differences in the necessary R&D resources, which may result in substantial product price differences: this is a hurdle for the applicant submitting a centrally authorized ATMP when lower priced exempted alternatives are on the market.”(van Wilder)

ATMPs are special:
Consequence:
Development and MA procedure may be difficult
Do we have to adapt our thinking to the products, not the products to our thinking?
Probably both: We have to adapt to the specificities of the products, but the developers will also have to adapt to the pharma framework.

Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC: How to handle minimally manipulated ATMPs?
(e.g., bone marrow in non-homologous use)
• ”Starting materials”
• ”Validation”
• ”Identity”
• ”Purity”
• ”Potency”
• ”Mechanism of Action”
